FOCUS OPEN SPECIAL MENTION FOR SYNTEGON AND WHITE ID

Radically Clear – Industrial Design for Intuitive Interaction

The HTG (High-Shear Top-Drive Granulator) has been awarded the prestigious Focus Open Special Mention 2026 by the Design Center Baden-Württemberg. For more than 30 years, the International Design Award Baden-Württemberg has recognized outstanding products and has become an internationally respected seal of quality for business and industry.

WE ARE PROUD OF THIS ACHIEVEMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO SINCERELY THANK THE FOCUS OPEN JURY FOR THIS RECOGNITION.

The close collaboration between Syntegon and whiteID made it possible to create a machine that is immediately understandable. Its design follows a clear, radically reduced design language that makes the process intuitive to experience. It is a true fusion of mechanical engineering and industrial design. The focus was on precisely translating complex process requirements into a clear, legible, and intuitively operable system architecture. This is exactly where whiteID’s expertise comes into play: combining systematic thinking, technical understanding, and a design approach that does not explain functionality but makes it feel self-evident. The two interaction zones perfectly embody this philosophy: machine status is communicated instantly through integrated LED indicators, while processes become intuitively understandable through the thoughtful use of light and materials.
